Description

The Hedgehog mushroom (Hydnum repandum, Hydnum umbilicatum) is a wild forest mushroom found under deciduous and coniferous trees. The Hedgehog mushroom is also known as 'Sheep's Foot, 'Sweet Tooth' and 'Wood Urchin". Instead of gills or pores, Hedgehogs sport little, cream-colored spines, or teeth, like a hedgehog.

Mild but very flavorful, Hedgehog mushrooms are an excellent substitute for Chanterelles when they are not in season.

Hedgehog mushrooms are versatile, going very well with both meat and fish dishes, sauces, soups, stews or mixed with other mushrooms, but are worth trying on their own for their excellent flavor.

The name of this fascinating mushroom comes from the small, toothlike projections under the cap where, in other mushrooms, the gills are found. They can be found in groups under conifers or hardwoods, or, depending on the area of the country, around rhododendron bushes. They have been described by some as having a mild chanterelle flavor.

Here's another wonderful main course for the mushroom extravaganza. Haddock is a light, flaky fish that goes well with a variety of sauces, but this combination of mushrooms, wine, and green onions is simple, light, and hard to beat. Served lakeside with candlelight, soft music, and fresh garden vegetables it makes a romantic gourmet dinner. It's also wonderful in the spring with tender fresh asparagus.

This dish has one of the most distinctive flavor
combinations I've ever experienced, especially
considering that the mushrooms and the potato
both tend to have mild flavors. All kinds of
things start happening when you add blue cheese
to this wonderful base. See for yourself what
it can do to liven up your table when served with
just about anything. As a main course for
vegetarians, this is great. It's also wonderful
served with beef or pork, and makes a great
accompaniment for fish or poultry. Make sure
the cheese is at room temperature when you make
the recipe.

This is a wonderful, traditional stuffing to serve for an elegant Thanksgiving dinner. Not only is it a change from the routine bread stuffing, but wild rice has a delicious nutty flavor that goes perfectly with turkey. The mushrooms add that woodsy, earthy flavor that complements the turkey and the wild rice, making this an unforgetable and delicious meal.

This is a wonderful dish for any season, and is an elegant accompaniment for any hearty meal. It can also hold its own as the main course for a vegetarian dinner, and goes marvelously with tossed greens. To add a touch of the exotic, more than a touch of "mystery," and a fabulously delicious flavor, serve with a simple salad, tossing the greens with vinegar and tasty roasted pumpkin seed oil.
